I still don't care. I may just buy another Tesla and a handgun :)

Murdering vandals is still murder. You will be locked in a small box and deserve it.

  It's never about shooting.
  - Zigurd 2y ago
    Not quite never, but statistically it would end up being you or some member of your household, by accident or intentional self harm.

  Self defense is not murder. Definitionally. That depends on the state however. It can be murder, so take care.

    Sure. People driving Teslas haven't been getting physically assaulted, so self defense isn't what we're talking about here.

> I still don't care. I may just buy another Tesla and a handgun :) That kind of escalation is very American of you. I'd like to remind you of the demonstration of the "bulletproof" windows of the Cybertruck and consider quite how bad things may get if Americans don't learn to live with each other without constantly laughing about "triggering" each other when the more literal trigger is on the firearms you have a constitutional right to own. That so many are, like yourself, so blasé about the risks, was one reason I decided against migrating to the USA when I had the chance.

  This is exactly the type of thing that makes me like America. Taking risks is an essential part of life and the more open you are to sane risks, the better. The reason I don't move there is tax laws, but boy do I, as a third worlder, want a "gold card".

    It's a lot less fun than it sounds. https://www.kare11.com/article/news/crime/woman-shot-by-stray-bullet-in-minneapolis-oliver-avenue-north-gunfire-from-alley/89-310142fb-f61d-49e9-9577-0e541162d7a4 https://www.kare11.com/article/news/crime/woman-shot-by-stra...

        Sorry, local news websites are a disaster. You can probably find the story by searching terms from the URL slug. That particular story doesn't really matter, it was just the most recent one in my area that came to mind. There is no shortage of similar stories across the US.

    > sane risks On the Venn diagram of "risky things" and "sane things", there's a lot of overlap. But I'd say "aggravating people who have a right to bear guns" is not in the overlap.

    You may think yourself as very American, but the real Americans voted to keep you (and pretty much everybody else, don't worry) of their America. I call this cognitive dissonance (or trolling, I'm too simple to tell).

so wonderful to share this country with folks like you! please consider shifting your scope outside yourself and your own personal protection, and consider the greater good at least occasionally, please.

Not to dogpile too much here, but I think 1992's Unforgiven directed by and staring Clint Eastwood does the best here when it comes to my feeling about this comment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTjBR0jicAo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTjBR0jicAo Bill Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have. Schofield Kid: Yeah. Well I guess they had it coming. Bill Munny: We all have it coming, kid. The acting here is much better than these simple lines as well as the lead up to them. Suffice to say, talking about dealing death over property online is a lot easier than living with it.

That’s what real freedom it really is. Finally I start reading some sanity over here.
